How to use someField method of org.mockito.internal.exceptions.ReporterTest class

As Object.getClass() is final, you cannot mock that method with Mockito. I would strongly advice you to refactor your code to inject the class in another way. If that's not possible, you could try out powermock, where you could mock any final method. Object.getClass() is a bit special, so be sure to set MockGateway.MOCK_GET_CLASS_METHOD = true in powermock.

What you want to do is a combination of part of 1 and all of 2.

You need to use the PowerMockito.mockStatic to enable static mocking for all static methods of a class. This means make it possible to stub them using the when-thenReturn syntax.

But the 2-argument overload of mockStatic you are using supplies a default strategy for what Mockito/PowerMock should do when you call a method you haven't explicitly stubbed on the mock instance.

From the javadoc:

Creates class mock with a specified strategy for its answers to interactions. It's quite advanced feature and typically you don't need it to write decent tests. However it can be helpful when working with legacy systems. It is the default answer so it will be used only when you don't stub the method call.

The default default stubbing strategy is to just return null, 0 or false for object, number and boolean valued methods. By using the 2-arg overload, you're saying "No, no, no, by default use this Answer subclass' answer method to get a default value. It returns a Long, so if you have static methods which return something incompatible with Long, there is a problem.

Instead, use the 1-arg version of mockStatic to enable stubbing of static methods, then use when-thenReturn to specify what to do for a particular method. For example:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.invocation.InvocationOnMock;
import org.mockito.stubbing.Answer;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

class ClassWithStatics {
  public static String getString() {
    return "String";
  }

  public static int getInt() {
    return 1;
  }
}

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ClassWithStatics.class)
public class StubJustOneStatic {
  @Test
  public void test() {
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(ClassWithStatics.class);

    when(ClassWithStatics.getString()).thenReturn("Hello!");

    System.out.println("String: " + ClassWithStatics.getString());
    System.out.println("Int: " + ClassWithStatics.getInt());
  }
}

The String-valued static method is stubbed to return "Hello!", while the int-valued static method uses the default stubbing, returning 0.

Technically speaking both "mocks" and "spies" are a special kind of "test doubles".

Mockito is unfortunately making the distinction weird.

A mock in mockito is a normal mock in other mocking frameworks (allows you to stub invocations; that is, return specific values out of method calls).

A spy in mockito is a partial mock in other mocking frameworks (part of the object will be mocked and part will use real method invocations).

In that case, the class are not load belongs to javax.security, thus you should ignore "javax.security.*" in @PowerMockIgnore. It works.

To to this, you can use PowerMockito.spy(...) and PowerMockito.doReturn(...).

Moreover, you have to specify the PowerMock runner at your test class, and prepare the class for testing, as follows:

@PrepareForTest(Util.class)
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
public class UtilTest {

   @Test
   public void testMethod() throws Exception {
      PowerMockito.spy(Util.class);
      PowerMockito.doReturn("abc").when(Util.class, "anotherMethod");

      String retrieved = Util.method();

      Assert.assertNotNull(retrieved);
      Assert.assertEquals(retrieved, "abc");
   }
}

Hope it helps you.

I had this problem today. It is caused by calls to the mock to set up stubbing actually consuming the stubbing already in place.

In this example, change the first line to

when(mock.call(anyString())).thenReturn("","",string1,string2)

This will give you two blank responses when you set up your other mock returns, leaving string1 as the first useful return value.

Try also the doReturn alternative which I think may not have these issues:

doReturn(string1,string2).when(mock).call(anyString());

This uses the stub differently during setup.

So I did some more research on this. Here's the function I was playing with, based on the OP's question:

    Function<String, String> function = mock(Function.class);
    when(function.apply(anyString())).thenReturn("A","B","C");
    when(function.apply("Jim")).thenReturn("Jim");
    when(function.apply("Bob")).thenReturn("Bob");

    assertThat(function.apply("Jim")).isEqualTo("Jim");
    assertThat(function.apply("Bob")).isEqualTo("Bob");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("A");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("B");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("C");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("C");

The above fails at isEqualTo("A") because the two calls to set up the mocks for Jim and Bob consume return values from the list provided to anyString().

You might be tempted to reorder the when clauses, but that fails, because the anyString() supersedes the special cases, so that fails too.

The following version of the above DOES work as expected:

    when(function.apply(anyString())).thenReturn("A","B","C");

    doReturn("Jim")
        .when(function)
        .apply("Jim");
    doReturn("Bob")
        .when(function)
        .apply("Bob");

    assertThat(function.apply("Jim")).isEqualTo("Jim");
    assertThat(function.apply("Bob")).isEqualTo("Bob");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("A");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("B");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("C");
    assertThat(function.apply("")).isEqualTo("C");

This is because the doReturn technique, which is intended for modifying pre-existing mocks in flight, doesn't actually involve calling the method on the mock to set up the mocking.

You could use doReturn for all setup, rather than mixing between when...thenReturn and doReturn..when..function(). As it happens, that's a bit uglier:

    doReturn("A").doReturn("B").doReturn("C")
        .when(function)
        .apply(anyString());

There's no convenient varargs function to let you specify multiple returns in sequence. The above has been tested and does work, though.

Something like this should do it (not tested):

doAnswer(new Answer() {
    public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) {
        Object[] args = invocation.getArguments();
        List<?> list = (List<?>) args[0];
        list.clear();
        return null;
    }
}).when(test).clearList(any(List.class));

If you really don't have a choice for refactoring you can mock/stub everything in the super method call e.g.

    class BaseService {

        public void validate(){
            fail(" I must not be called");
        }

        public void save(){
            //Save method of super will still be called.
            validate();
        }
    }

    class ChildService extends BaseService{

        public void load(){}

        public void save(){
            super.save();
            load();
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testSave() {
        ChildService classToTest = Mockito.spy(new ChildService());

        // Prevent/stub logic in super.save()
        Mockito.doNothing().when((BaseService)classToTest).validate();

        // When
        classToTest.save();

        // Then
        verify(classToTest).load();
    }

InOrder helps you to do that.

ServiceClassA firstMock = mock(ServiceClassA.class);
ServiceClassB secondMock = mock(ServiceClassB.class);

Mockito.doNothing().when(firstMock).methodOne();   
Mockito.doNothing().when(secondMock).methodTwo();  

//create inOrder object passing any mocks that need to be verified in order
InOrder inOrder = inOrder(firstMock, secondMock);

//following will make sure that firstMock was called before secondMock
inOrder.verify(firstMock).methodOne();
inOrder.verify(secondMock).methodTwo();
